I just finished a 420 kit a while back and used nice high end dip sockets on the op amps. these are the ones with the thicker stage and round solid pins instead of thin flat pins. The result ? My anal disposition to have everything just the way I want it is satisfied - and if one of the op amps blows I just pull and replace. How does it affect sound ? It does not. it's just a little extra if Ya- got some sockets in your parts bin. That Blacet idea is good, I have a dark star too but I'm too freakin' lazy to take any drastic moves from the frack rack right now. I run it through an old passive Bruel & Kaejer bandpass network "1610" 1/3 oct. 48db ,.....i think and it's awsome with the MOTM 420s' on the end of the patch output!!!! - Well happy knob tweaking to all. P.S. The output on my 420s' were clipped due to a cheezy amp source ,now they sound great Thank You - Paul they are now "shortwave(ish)" in character as they should be. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
